Hi,

New to the site and to BMWs. Have an 02' with 64,000 miles. I have only put on 5,000 of them.

Have an occasional grinding, feel through the floorboards, and shake of the steering wheel almost like an unbalanced tire sometimes present, sometimes not so much. Was thinking the wheel bearing, but some posts leave me questioning the possibility of control arm bushing?

Wondering, how to determine which of the two is the problem and in the case of the wheel bearing how to figure out which wheel? Finally, are both DIY provided I get the right 'puller tool' for the bearings?

Thanks in advance for any help and taking the time to reply.
